Swiss cookie cutters
There are 4 products.
With our Swiss cookie cutters you bake biscuits that everyone recognises at a glance: the Swiss cross, the outline of Switzerland, a mountain range and the Bernese bear. Whether for Swiss National Day on 1 August, a club event, an apéro with guests from abroad or as an edible souvenir, these motifs bring a piece of Switzerland to the biscuit plate.
The Switzerland cutter has an inner embossing: as you cut, the Swiss cross appears directly inside the shape of the country, with no need to draw it. The 4.5 cm Swiss cross suits small biscuits and cupcake toppers, the 9.5 cm mountains are ideal for larger biscuits or as a silhouette around the cake edge, and the 7 cm Bernese bear will delight children and fans of Bern. All shapes work with sweet or savoury dough as well as with fondant and marzipan.
Ideas for Swiss biscuits
- Red and white: bake crosses from pale shortcrust and cover them with red icing or red fondant – or do it the other way round with red biscuits and a white cross.
- Snowy peaks: dip only the tips of the mountain biscuits into white icing to create a little Alpine panorama.
- Savoury for the apéro: cut crosses or bears from cheese pastry and sprinkle them with sesame or caraway before baking.
- Clean outlines: lightly flour the worktop, rolling pin and cutter. Thinly rolled dough turns crisp, slightly thicker dough stays softer.
Questions about Swiss cookie cutters
Which cutter embosses the Swiss cross at the same time?
The Switzerland cutter: it cuts out the outline of the country and presses the cross into the dough in one go. After baking, fill the hollow with red icing so the cross stands out even more.
Which Swiss cutters are dishwasher-safe?
The Swiss cross and the Bernese bear are made of stainless steel and can go in the dishwasher. The Switzerland and mountain cutters are tinplate: wash them by hand, dry them thoroughly straight away and let them finish drying in the still-warm oven so they stay rust-free.
